Abstract
As part of the first-year seminar, University Studies 101B, Multicultural Vision Program (MVP) scholars spend the semester exploring various strategies for academic success and engaging in dialogue about self-discovery. The final assignment for the course is the creation of a short documentary in which the scholars utilize storytelling to reflect on the impact that their social identities have on their Iowa State University experiences. This panel discussion will address challenges, opportunities, and areas of growth that first-year MVP scholars have encountered on campus since taking the course.
